Start for freeWhat to Expect
Players start from one of four European cities (Berlin, Madrid, London, or Rome) and race their way to Monte Carlo. Movement is determined by cards, where each player's card values are compared each turn. Depending on the rank of your card, you move a number of spaces between one and four. Landing on a red space forces you to change cars and use the next card.
Who Is This Game For?
This game suits fans of racing games and simple mechanics. Designed for 2 to 4 players, it requires no complex rules, making it accessible for casual players. There is no solo mode, so you need other players. The playtime is not specified but likely short to medium due to the straightforward gameplay.
How It Works
Each player holds five cards which determine movement values. In each round, the first cards are compared: the highest value moves four spaces, second three, third two, and last one. Landing on a red space means changing the car and using the next card. Players race point-to-point across the board towards Monte Carlo.
